WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Had to rev through the gears quick this evening - engine got the sudden "wake up" call and delivered - first time I've ever done that in the Fronty. Later found I was down a dipped beam headlight so bought a new one - now waiting for the rain season to ease so I can fit it.

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Had an annoying oil leak around the rubber intercooler pipe next to the battery, not much of a leak but seeing as it's the only leak on the truck at the moment it needed looking at.
Anyway, took the pipe off, gave it a good clean up and two layers of rubber self-amalgamating tape in case the pipe is beginning to go a bit porous then replaced it and tightend up the new jubilee clips. Hopefully that will have sorted it. Find out in the morning as I'm off to sunny Chatham for the day, well Brompton to be precise.. oh yipeeee... This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you....
